After splitting the regular season, the stage was set for this third meeting between the West Branch Freshman and Alliance Freshman boys basketball teams, and the Warriors were looking to defend their home floor. Unfortunately, the Warriors battled hard but fell to the Aviators 46-29 in the championship game.

Dane Martucci scored seven points, Kolin Kaley added seven, Eli Tice had six, Logan Hawk scored three, Chris Thomas added two, Judah Kutz had two, and Everett Zippay contributed two points.

What's Next: You may think the season is over, but the Freshman Warriors have one more game this Monday, February 9, at home at 5:30 PM against Heartland Christian. The team is looking to bounce back and end the season with a win.
